PISFRAN( ‘HISEMENT TO BE VOT
gD ON IN TODAY'S ELECTION.
Jooks Like Some of Those Who
Fathered the Black Baby Are
Not Particularly Interested.
The regular state election will take“
glace today, Wednesday, October‘
Tth. ; ; |
Wwhile there has been little inter
ot in the so-called campaign that
pas been on for several weeks a big
sote is expected to be polled. Joseph
M. Brown will in all probability get
the largest cunmlime.ntary v_ote given
a democratic candidate in many
years.
" fhe nominal opposition made by
the Independents to the regular
white primary ticket will perhaps
pave the effect of aiding in bringing
out a rousing vote for Mr. Brown.
Geod politicians do not believe Wil
jiam Yancy Carter will receive over
10.000 votes, though some are in
clined to hope that he will roll up
considerable strength and stretch
ws possible vote to 25,000. It is
yeritably impossible for the Inde
pendence candidate to endanger the
guccess of Mr. Brown. On the other
hand, the very fact of his being in
the race will insure the democratic
nominee a record-breaking vote.
Many who supported Governor Smith
in the recent contest, and in the ab
sence of any opposition would not
trouble themselves to vote, will now
take pains to turn out and work and
vote for him to avoid the imputa
tion of giving encouragement to the
epemy.
The disfranchisement question,
which is to be passed upon today,
will aid in bringing out the voters.
For some reason this question has
been materially neglected by those

who led in putting it forward.
Thomas W. Hardwick of the Tenth
district is the sole one of its vigor
ous fathers who has shown any
great interest in the offspring since
the recent primary.
Mr. Hardwick has made several
speeches in advocacy of the adoption
of the constitutional amendment, and
he has been prolific in advising the
state committee with reference to the
issue.
After the Macon Telegraph had re
peatedly called attention to the fact
that the governor was taking no in
terest in this question he, a few days
ago, issued a short statement advis
ing that disfranchisement be voted
for today, and the Atlanta Journal
afterwards came out with one of its
double column editorials on a similar
line.
~ Deducting what Mr. Hardwick has
done the issue has been largely left
in the hands of the democratic or
ganization, which has done and is
doing as much or more to carry out
the part of the recently adopted plat
form which relates to this subject
than any other of the party tenets.
It is generally talked around in the
state that most of those who “dad
died” disfranchisement in 1906
would not be much grieved if the
proposition was killed.
~ While those now in control of the
party did not originate this disfran
chisement movement, and were not
its leading advocates while it was an
‘issue, they are standing by the party
declaration on this subject conscien
tiously and in good fa‘th.
The largest negro vote of many
vears will be polled by reason of the
proposed amendment. More than
50.000 are registered, and their lead
ers are counting upon voting more
than 45,000 in the state and national
elections.
HIS SALARIED MEN DO THE PUB
LIC STUNT ACT AT SO
MUCH PER.
The last issue of Tom Watson's
magazine contained this interesting
article:
In his Atlanta speech, at the
Graves notification ceremony, Mr.
William R. Hearst said that he ‘“‘just
came down to Georgia to see my
friend Graves nominated.”
As “my friend Graves'” receives
$15,000 per year from Hearst to act
as editor of ome of his papers the
interest of Hearst in his friend
Graves is not only legitimate, but in
surable.
Then, again, as ‘“my friend
Graves” was notified by Clarence J.
Shearn, the personal attorney of Mr.
Hearst, it was all the more natural
that Hearst should want to be there.
The boss wanted to see the show, as
his lawyer ‘“notified”’ his editor. If
Hearst's man lhmsen had also been
present—he of the Hearst dough-bag
—too read a Brisbane speech on the
wickedness of the use of money in
elections the joke would have cli
maxed.
As it was, the performance was
unique enough.
By the way, in addition to being
the friend of ‘“my friend Graves,”
Mr. Hearst is chairman of the Hearst
party, and pays for the special train
on which the circus travels.
We are not prepared to affirm or
deny the rumor that Mr. Hearst has
engaged a minstrel troupe to accom
pany the great reform movement in
its future perambulations.
BIG FUND FOR ALBANY SCHOOL.
A Philadelphia Millionaire Is Inter
ested in Holley's Negro Institute.
From the Atlanta Georgian.
After a thorough inspection of the
Albany Institute, founded for col
ored children by Rev. Joseph W.
Holley, one of the most prominent
colored preachers of Macon, O. La-
Forrest Perry, a Philadelphia mil
lionaire and philanthropist, has re
turned to his home determined to
raise $50,000 or $lOO,OOO among his
friends for this Georgia institution.
Mr. Perry heard of the school that
Holley is operating in Albany, and
to see exactly what is was he took a
train and came down to Georgia. On
his way home Monday he stopped
for a short time in Atlanta.
The school has been a decided suc
cess, and not only do Albany people
highly recommend it, but several
prominent bankers and business men
are on its board of trustees and look
after it. Without anything but faith
in his race and his energy Holley
started the school, and by his efforts
it bas grown until now it is a large
institution and is instructing a large
number of Dougherty county chil
dren and turning out good farmers
with a christian training.

HOT STUFF 1S HASKELL
ROOSEVELT 18 “INFAMOUS LIAR,”
SAYS OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR.
Also Says the President Is Fourth
Ward Politician and Crook. Will
Sue Hearst for Slander.
“I'll have a new chapter every day
on Theodore the First from now un
til election day,” said Governor Has
kell of Oklahoma, “showing him to
the greatest crook that ever sat in
the presidential chair.’
Governor Haskell had only a few
days before said that Roosevelt was
the greatest four-flusher of modern
times, and that ““the rascal ought to
know what we think of him in Okla
homa.”
“My resignation was voluntary,”
he declared, “for I could not afford,
if Bryan is defeated, to have the dem
ocracy say, ‘if Haskell had got out
of the way Bryan would have been
elected.” 1 am watching a fourth
ward politician in the presidential
chair, and I wanted to look after his
case.”
Haskell, in a speech delivered in
front ,of democratic headquarters
in Guthrie, following a pathetic meet
ing with his wife at the station, re
ferred to President Roosevelt as “an
infamous liar, with not the honor to
admit it.”
He denied that he had ever taken
office until pressed to do so, and
then accepted it only for the dignity
it would give Oklahoma, and then
added:
“I'll be in the present campaign
till the last minute.”
Mr. Haskell said he would start
law suits this week against various
Oklahomaians, and declared he
would sue W, R. Hearst, ‘“to make
him prove the charges he made
against me were not true.”
According to Haskell, too, an in
vestigation is being made to discov
er all other persons who are jointly
responsible with Hearst for the
charges, in order to make them de
fendants also. He specified Dennis
T. Flynn, republican nominee for
United States senator in the present
campaign, as responsible for the
ficht made on him.

| LETTER TO J. M. RAUCH,
Dawson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Experience teaches
some people sometimes: it teaches
[a few some things; it’s a mighty
slow school though, that same expe
rience.
Lots of people paint lead-and-oil,
paint once in three years, and think
themselves wise; they are wasting
‘half their money and fuss. They're
S 0 sure they are wise, they die as
they live, paint-foolish. Experience
teaches them nothing.
There’s another set, who buy paint
by the gallon, and go by the price of
a gallon. They think one price is
high, and another is low; and they
pay about middling; why don’t they
pay low? They know that milk isn’t
dear or cheap by the price of a quart;
that the milk has something to do
with it. They don’t buy ‘“cheap”
milk; but they buy ‘‘cheap’” paint
and pay double. Experience teaches
them nothing.
There’s another set. They paint
yvears ago lead-and-and oil; exhausted
that. Then tried something else; it
was better or worse. Then Devoe;
it cost about half and wore twice
as- long. That's how experience
teaches some of us. Yours truly

IINTENSIVE FARMING PAYS
Lomie Mathis, a Young Lee County
Farmer, Will Make Six or Seven
Bales of Cotton on Three Acres.
Lomie Mathis, a young farmer
over in Lee county, has this year
illustrated the fact that the great
drawback to farming is planting too
much land and fertilizing too little.
He had a three-acre patch, well
fertilized to start with, of course.
He put on a part of it his stable
manure. When this gave out he put
at the rate of thirty bushels of cot
|ton seed to the acre, and followed
with 1,000 pounds of acid and kainit,
put in four-foot rows and chopped to
‘four feet in drill. Result: He has
|gotteti nearly three bales already
. picked, and stands a chance to get
three to four more if competent
‘judges can be relied on. This is the
'ordinary, very flat, piney woods land.
’ He says he would have made much
more had he planted in six-foot rows,
'as his cotton is too much of a wilder
ness.
| Everyone who tries the intensive
‘plan proves that we have too much
land half worked.
